You\u2019ve probably heard some interesting excuses from linguists who didn\u2019t meet their weekly or monthly learning goal.<\/p>\n

But there are some good reasons too! On TDY. Attending a SLTE. Out for parental leave.<\/p>\n

Until now, those very good reasons looked very bad in your reports. Even if you changed a linguist\u2019s goal to \u201cNo Goal\u201d during those legitimate absences. Retroactively in reports, it looked like they just didn\u2019t meet their goal. No bueno.<\/p>\n

Now you can set goal exemptions!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exemptions will make sure your data is accurate in real time and long-term reports.<\/p>\n

Track exemptions in real time<\/h2>\n

You can set up goal exemptions in your Reporting Groups<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the Users tab, find the linguist who should be exempt.<\/li>\n
  2. In the Actions column, click the three dots icon to open a menu of actions.<\/li>\n
  3. Select \u201cSet Goal Exemption\u201d.<\/li>\n
  4. Set the dates during which they should be exempt and click Save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u26a0\ufe0f Exemptions must align to a weekly or monthly reporting period, so they must begin on a Sunday and end on a Saturday.)
    \n\u26a0\ufe0f You can cancel or reschedule an exemption before<\/em> it starts, but it cannot be cancelled once it\u2019s in effect.<\/p>\n

    During the date range you selected, that linguist will appear exempt throughout the admin portal. You\u2019ll see an \u201cExempt\u201d wedge in your pie charts<\/a>, so those linguists are accounted for but don\u2019t interfere with your data about goal compliance.<\/p>\n

    \"cl-150<\/p>\n

    The exemption will expire automatically at the end of the selected date range.<\/p>\n

    Exemptions carry over into the Goal Compliance Report, so linguists are properly categorized retroactively when running longer term reports.<\/p>\n
